Get The Look, Nancy Meyers Edition | Something’s Gotta Give Dining Room
2

Ok!! We’re back by popular demand — Get The Look, Nancy Meyers Edition!!! Today’s blog post is dedicated to Something’s Gotta Give Dining Room. I’m so glad many of you, like me, are watching all of Nancy Meyers movies on repeat right now! Oh, and in case you missed it – don’t miss my Somethings Gotta Give Living Room blog post. Is it time to start house hunting in Sagaponeck yet?

A few things I learned when researching behind-the-scene details of the Something’s Gotta Give dinning room – Beth Rubino found the beautiful round dinning table at Rose Tarlow in Los Angeles where you can still shop similar versions today! I included the Hobbs table in my roundup below – isn’t she a beaut? The design team also incorporated Lee Sofa’s Bordeaux Toile fabric on the chairs but unfortunately it has since been discontinued. The good news is you can easily find a similar toile fabric on Decorators Best — or this print from Kravet is beautiful.

What I love most about the dining room scene is that many of the details are easy for us to replicate. I searched high and low for the water and wine goblets that most closely replicate the ones in the movie and found the Perigord Wineglass Set from La Rochelle & the Edward Goblets Set from Williams Sonoma!

Other must-have details include:

You can shop the entire look below! And be sure to come back next week, I’ll be breaking down the bedrooms from Something’s Gotta Give movie set. Thank you to everyone who commented on my Instagram sharing which other movie scenes you’d love to be included in our special get the look series!!! Xo. Lauren

Get The Look, Nancy Meyers Edition | Something’s Gotta Give Movie Set Decor
2

Today I’m so excited to launch my latest Get The Look Series — Nancy Meyers edition! It’s safe to say that I’ve been obsessed with every movie Nancy Meyers has produced over the course of her career. From Father of the Bride to the Parent Trap to Something’s Gotta Give, in this new series I’ll be breaking down the movie sets we have come to know and love over the past 30 years. I’ll be sharing sources, similar products & how we can all get the look of the most beautiful, fictional homes.

First up — the movie set decor from the Something’s Gotta Give living room!

Something’s Gotta Give Movie Set Decor

I searched the internet high and low for sources and information I could find as it relates to the decor in the Something’s Gotta Give Hamptons house. One of the best articles was published in Arch Digest — linked here!

So here’s the scoop —

The beautiful (and gigantic!) blue and white striped dhurrie was a massive antique rug that set designer, Beth Rubino, ended  up re-working in order to fit the move set. Some articles suggest this rug was purchased at “Aspen Rug Company” but I have yet to find this rug company online. However, one lucky blogger was able to spot it a DDD Charity Event in Southampton and now has it her bedroom! She also mentioned in her blog post that the color of the English Country sofas from the movie were actually very light eggshell blue linen vs. white as they appear on-screen. Movie trickery, I tell ya!

The good news is — you can easily find a classic blue and white striped Dhurrie on Etsy or House of Dhurries! Annie Selke and Ralph Lauren are two other great resources for blue and white striped rugs.

The art above the fireplace is speculated to be a reproduction of a painting by Edward Henry Potthast, an  impressionist artist that painted many seaside pieces. I always recommend Serena and Lily or One Kings Lane for similar seaside pieces to help you get the look.

The white clock in the living room was a Morten Monberg — you can shop a similar version at Ballard Designs.

From a 2004 interview with Beth Rubino with the Set Decorators Society, Beth mentioned that the living room drapes were linen with box hem-stitching to allow movement of the air. The design team also incorporated different densities of sheers to slightly obstruct or diffuse the light. I personally have these ivory linen drapes from Pottery Barn that I think would compliment any beach house decor.

Last but not least, per the Arch Digest article — the fabric on the ottoman is by Clearance House and the chair fabric is by Mimi House London.

Get The Look | A Preppy & Colorful Entryway
1

Screen Shot 2019-01-20 at 10.03.32 AM

Last week I created a Follow Friday series on my Instagram stories where I highlighted five accounts that I currently find inspiring! Isn’t it fun to discover new accounts to spice up your feed? Don’t worry, if you missed it you can catch up & view on my story highlights! Within the roundup, I included a new-to-me account called Maine House Interiors founded by Australian interior designer Amy Spargo.

It’s no surprise that I’m a huge fan of how Amy incorporates blue and white throughout many of the spaces she designs. I particularly loved this preppy and colorful entry way vignette photographed above! Doesn’t it look like a space that belongs in a Palm Beach house or hotel?!

My favorite element in the design has to be the pair of custom ottomans featuring a Tigger Hall fabric. If you love adding custom elements to your home, I highly recommend taking a peek at Etsy shop Liven Up Design! They can easily re-create these ottomans for you either using fabric they have in-house or with a fabric you ship directly to them!

I re-created the look below with a more muted palette but still using blue and white as the main color combination. I found a similar wallpaper as the one photographed above on Wayfair called “Floral Teahouse” wallpaper but I personally loved this blue and white botanical wallpaper a little more (also from Wayfair!). This classic white mirror would pair nicely with just about any entryway table or console. And I love how this table lamp easily compliments the wallpaper. Plus, it’s only $113 dollars!

Last but not least, if you’re in the market for natural fiber rugs, be sure to take a look at Pottery Barn’s selection! They have a wide variety to choose from + many are on sale at the moment. The rug I included in the roundup is the Clayton Natural Fiber Rug.

Get The Look + A St. Germain Cocktail Recipe
4

You know I love a good bar cart, especially when it comes in gold and is topped off with my favorite accessories. I have seen this bar cart across the web but can’t wrap my head around the $1,000 price tag.

So instead of investing a pretty penny into pricey furniture, I’ve rounded up a few key pieces on how you can get the look for less.

Brittany Ambridge Bar Cart

Insert Target. I’ve been such a fan of this pretty little bar cart for months. I’ve blogged about it many a times, but it really is so versatile and can be used a number of different ways! And can we talk about the $100 dollar price point for a second? Yes, please.

Get The Look- Cocktail Corner

When it comes to accessoriszing a bar cart or creating a little “cocktail corner” like this one pictured above, it really is quite easy and only comes down to a few key elements:

  • The first is the bar cart (trick: if you don’t have a bar cart place a low bookshelf in a corner that has a similar height and width). Target and One Kings Lane both have great affordable bar cart options.
  • Third is a delicious cocktail recipe! One cannot go wrong with this St. Germain cocktail recipe I found on Domino. Mix the ingredients listed below and garnish with a lemon peel.

What’s on your bar cart? Xoxo. Lauren
